[Mesa-users] MesaLib-8.0.4: fatal error: nouveau_device.h: No such file or directory Build Failure

[Feuerbacher, Alan]

Hi,

In trying to compile MesaLib-8.0.4 I got the following error during make:

Tracking down what's going wrong, the file ..../Mesa-8.0.4/src/mesa/drivers/dri/nouveau/nouveau_screen.c contains an include statement:

#include "nouveau_driver.h"

that in turn contains further include statements referring to more and similar local files, six out of nine of which are missing:

### MISSING ###
#include "nouveau_device.h"
#include "nouveau_grobj.h"
#include "nouveau_channel.h"
#include "nouveau_bo.h"
#include "nouveau_notifier.h"
#include "nv04_pushbuf.h"

### NOT MISSING ###
#include "nouveau_screen.h"
#include "nouveau_state.h"
#include "nouveau_surface.h"

After doing some google searches I discovered that a lot of people have encountered this problem, but I have not found any fixes or patches. I found one discussion of a possible bugfix from a year and a half ago, but the discussion petered out without any resolution I could see.

Where do I go from here to complete compiling Mesa?

My system is my employer's Dell T7500, which has two Xeon 6-core processors, and runs Redhat 5 (RHEL5). I'm not root so I'm limited in what I can do. I've installed a big pile of late-model software loosely following guidelines from LinuxFromScratch, including nearly the latest gcc, binutils and glibc. I'm now loosely following guidelines from BeyondLinuxFromScratch to install Mesa. Ultimately I'm trying to build a complete version of octave, the latest version of which requires recent versions of all manner of GNU/Linux software. The RHEL5 version of OpenGL (fairly old) seems not to work well in building octave; hence I want to try the latest version of Mesa.
